## What is Giffer Pro GIF Maker?

A 'New & Noteworthy' app, Giffer Pro was designed from the ground up for making awesome animated gifs quickly and easily, whenever you want and wherever you go.

Giffer Pro provides larger (480 x 480 max), longer (double length) animated gifs compared to the standard version of Giffer, without the need for an in-app purchase. Of course you also get that warm & fuzzy pro status feeling.

The best part about Giffer is its powerful simplicity. Advanced features are there when you need them, yet unobtrusive enough to let you create an animated gif in just a few taps.

Create virtually any kind of animated gif: stop motion animation gifs, cinemagraphs, jitter or wiggle gifs, time lapse gifs, seamless loop gifs, reverse gifs, text overlay gifs, reaction gifs, cat gifs, dog gifs, you name it. Effortlessly share your favorite gifs to Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook or through Messages, Email or Airdrop.

FEATURES:
· Export gifs as Live Photos (New!)
· Export gifs as videos
· Create gifs using existing Live Photos, burst photos, photos, videos, or frames from other gifs
· Crop gifs to any size ratio
· Cinemagraph mode with stabilization
· Adjustable gif animation speed
· Add delays to individual frames
· Over 25 awesome filters
· Precise individual frame positioning
· Frame duplication and start/end trimming
· Add text to your gif with several font choices
· Add images from the web by copy/pasting
· Add borders/frames to your gifs
· Onion skin with adjustable opacity

IN-APP CAMERA MODES:
· Single-frame (great for stop-motion)
· Burst (with adjustable delay)
· Adjustable auto timer single-frame
· Adjustable auto timer burst
· Export single-frame photos to the Camera Roll as you capture them

PLAYBACK MODES:
· Back-and-forth (yo-yo)
· Forward loop
· Reverse loop
· Single play forward
· Single play reverse

SAVING & SHARING:
· Save gifs to the Camera Roll as animated gifs, Live Photos, or videos
· Share to Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, or through iMessage, Email or Airdrop
· Create a tiny, shareable URL by uploading your gif to giffer.co (no account required!)

Animated gifs are great because you don't need any special plugins to view them. You can paste them directly into iMessage/SMS messages or post 'em to your blog just like regular images, without any cross-browser worries or extra effort.

More features are in the works! Got a killer feature you'd like to see? Tap "request a feature" from the settings menu.

### 5/5 — YES!

*2024-02-17*

YES! Absolute YES!

### 4/5 — Higher quality exports would make this app perfect

*2023-07-24, version 3.6.7*

It’s a fantastic bare bones app if you want to make straightforward gifs, however the export size is very small so text won’t look good. Can we get maximum export size to match the average phone screen size?

### 5/5 — Best of the lot.

*2023-06-01, version 3.6.7*

Could render better. My only complaint

### 1/5 — Fixes needed StAT

*2022-12-25, version 3.6.7*

Can’t save GIFs, can’t browse photos, it went from a 5 to a 1.

### 5/5 — Simple and effective gifs…

*2022-10-02, version 3.6.7*

This app is extremely easy to use for creating and editing gifs and short movies. Good fun and does what it says without bells and whistles. Recommended.

### 1/5 — Usless

*2021-03-03, version 3.6.7*

I paid for pro. The app will not let me add anything except one single-shot photo. Useless. No instructions.

### 1/5 — Nicht für iPhone 12

*2021-02-07*

Leider sind einige Bereiche noch nicht für das iPhone 12 (und ggf. andere) angepasst. Die App lässt sich dann nicht mehr bedienen. Die Entwickler-Seite zeigt einen Fehler und ist nicht erreichbar.
Some Screens are not optimized for iPhone 12. App becomes unusable. Developer page is broken.

### 2/5 — Needs update please

*2021-02-01, version 3.6.7*

Can’t save gifs anymore because the check mark is behind the battery & wi-fi indicators of the iPhone screen.  Please update this app... it was my fav.

### 1/5 — No Instruction

*2021-01-30, version 3.6.7*

Paid $2.99 for no results. Then it needed to access my camera to work.

### 3/5 — Loved it til my iPhone 12 w notch

*2020-12-24, version 3.6.7*

Seems like critical buttons are in the notch area in the iPhone 12 (I assume X and 11) screen. Pretty sad because I loved this app. All the newer gif programs seem to require monthly payments (?! Really ?!) would gladly pay more to have it fixed. Help us developer!
